DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — A new $35 million Armed Forces Reserve Center is opening in Danbury.

The Army Reserve’s 99th Regional Support Command and the Connecticut National Guard have planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony next Friday to dedicate the 96,000-square-foot facility. It will be home to approximately 600 soldiers assigned to four Army Reserve and two National Guard units.
